Local Tip from Looneytravels

When booking a beach house villa, always check whether there’s a road between the property and the beach.

Some villas are labelled “beachfront” but are actually across a small coastal road. True beach houses usually have direct paths from the garden to the beach, which makes a big difference to the experience.
